Gratitude Journal Day #23: Today was my last workday before a short holiday. I haven't been home ( #hungary) for almost 5 months. I can't wait to spend some time with my family and friends! My sister @makravivien was texting me the entire day about the plan. She seemed very excited. I can't wait to hug her! So now I'm overwhelmed with all of our childhood memories and I'm really grateful for having her always there with me. #ingoodandbadtimes#sisters#carnival#almosthome

I picked this piece up a few months back, but am just now getting around to sharing it with you all. This map is a Hungarian map of Third Reich Germany. Hungary was part of the Axis powers and relied heavily on trade with Italy and Germany to pull itself out of the depression. It adopted policies very similar to Hitler’s Germany, attempting to create ethnic Hungarian neighborhoods. They participated in the invasion of Yugoslavia and the USSR. During war with the USSR, Hungary finalized an armistice with the UK and the US. Hitler discovered this and invaded Hungary, seizing power and helping put a new leader in place that would back him. Hungary would eventually face defeat by Russian forces. .

You’ll notice the people on the map are blonde and white, strong and beautiful, very much in like with the Aryan goals of Germany. Funny, it actually reminds me of a “Where’s Waldo” game....

Pieces like this would have normally been destroyed after Germany’s defeat. No one wanted to be seen with items brandishing the swastika. This rare piece is available. Please DM me if interested. .

Mistakes have the power to turn you into something better than you were before. ❤️
Forever grateful for this practice, for teaching me how to smile through the falls, how to breathe through the uncomfortable, and most of all, how to enjoy the journey more than reaching the destination. ❤️
